Huawei Launches Third Trifold Phone, the Mate XT 2, in China
The new device adopts an inward-folding design similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold and introduces a privacy-enhancing display feature, according to The Verge.
Huawei has released its third trifold smartphone, the Mate XT 2, in China, according to a report by The Verge.
The Verge reported that the device shares design similarities with Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold, particularly its inward-folding form factor, suggesting Huawei closely monitored Samsung's approach during development.
According to the report, the Mate XT 2 is the first foldable phone to include a privacy-enhancing display feature, a technology comparable to one found on Samsung devices. This feature is designed to limit the viewing angle of the screen, making it harder for people nearby to see the display's contents.
The Verge's report indicates this marks Huawei's continued push into the trifold smartphone category, following two earlier iterations of the device in China.
Further details on the Mate XT 2's specifications, pricing, and availability outside China were not included in the report.
